Raleigh bureaucrats = Raleigh idiots

Thanks to my friend Sam Hieb over at Piedmont Publius for discussing this the other day...thanks for allowing me to point out yet another example of idiots in Raleigh...thanks for the opportunity to prove once again why it's becoming more and more difficult to raise my daughter in this state.

State Rep. Larry Womble (D-Forsyth) introduced a bill to require companies that do business with the state to disclose their historical ties to slavery.

According to a recent Winston-Salem Journal article, companies entering into contracts with the state would have to search their corporate records for evidence that they participated in slavery or profited from it.

A company would have to publicly disclose any records of ties to slavery, including the names of any enslaved workers or slaveholders contained in the records, the article said.

It's good to see our lawmakers have so much time on their hands.

E.C. :)
